RUTH CHATTERTON COMING TO RICHELIEU, Those who have been clamoring for more of Ruth Chatterton, and they are legion, in view of her out- standing performances for the talk- ing screen, get a multiple serving of perfect drama in “The Right to Love,” new Paramount talking pic- ture which opens at the Richelieu Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday of next week. It is a drama of life rescued by love, a story of emotion, the eager joy of young romance, the rending sorrow of death to the father of her child, the passion of mother-love-hatred-desire and the bitterness of disillusionment. Miss Chatterton does a dual role, providing her with three or four distinct characterizations, in this story of romantic repression through two generations, and the tragic events born of a secret tryst. Paul Lukas and David Manners head the cast in support. “The Right to Love” is the first picture to be re- corded on New Western Electric si- lent system of recording. Hear the difference.

This will bring about the annual discussion as to the alleged ability of groundhogs to forecast the weather for six weeks following Candlemas by their behavior on that festival day. Superstition has it that the ground- hog (also called woodchuck and marmot) comes out of his long win- ter sleep on Candlemas day and emerges from his burrow. If he sees his shadow he ducks back again to resume his sleep while winter takes a fresh grip on the land and holds it for six weeks. If he fails to see his shadow then he remains above ground and an early end of winter is at hand. The superstition is so old and has been so often disproved that knowl- edge of weather science is rapidly relegating it to the rubbish heap of old tales. But it is still kept alive as a subject for humorisis to joke about. Candlemas, otherwise known as the Feast of the Purification, will be celebrated in Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches, In Catholic churches the rite of blessing the candles will be observ- ed. Candles used in the various ceremonies in the ensuing yesr will be consecrated. This ceremony us- ually takes place in the cathedrals. ——There will be preaching in the Dix Run Baptist church the coming Sunday evening, February 1, at 7:30 o'clock. The men's chorus of Wingate will be there and give special music. Everybody welcome.
